Before the whole internet, cellphone and email craze, there was snail mail. It was through this slow process of sending messages between friends that brought about the whole notion that friends don't last forever; as people move on in life back then, whatever is left couldn't be attained again due to its cost - time, money and resources.
These days, it's so easy to connect with my old friends, friends from my elementary years, to my high school years when I found myself in a group of friends who in spite of our differences still care for each other. The quick transmission of text from one computer to the next is as if we are all close to one another once again. Sure there are times when we had to be on our own and deal with our personal circumstances but it definitely gave me the whole meaning of friendship - that it prevents us from burning bridges the time when we move on.
I'm thankful that I am involved with such circumstance where I have long distance friends whom I can connect with anytime with a social networking site like Facebook.
